Hundreds of bills targeting trans* individuals are currently making their way through state legislative bodies. These range from bathroom bans to expulsion from sports teams to the denial of healthcare. Amid the increasingly hostile rhetoric and attempts to erase trans* and queer lives, the artists in this exhibition use a variety of media to tell powerful counternarratives about perseverance, vulnerability, and kinship among trans* and queer communities.The exhibition opens with a new live performance connecting art and athletics by Nicki Duval (they/them) and Robbie Trocchia (he/they), featuring figure skater Milk. Films exploring themes of transgender identity, visibility, bodies, and politics by multidisciplinary artist Cassils (he/they) are joined by an installation of exquisite cut-paper portraits by Antonius-Tín Bui (they/them). The works by these leading contemporary artists are complemented by a selection from the Picker collection that underlines the past, present, and future existence and vitality of trans* and queer artists.

This exhibition expands on the forthcoming issue of the artist-run journal Effects, organized around the motif of the hole. Holes draw our attention to the periphery, the edges of the visible, bringing to the fore what typically disappears into the margin. Through rips and shadows, enclosures and erasures, the included artworks address transience, destructive violence, and lost histories, while also evoking the nascent formation of as-yet-unknown patterns for meeting the problems of living — with ourselves, with one another, and with absence.Featuring work by Noel Anderson, Milano Chow, Mary Helena Clark, Clementine Keith-Roach, Lakshmi Luthra, Eric N. Mack, Nour Mobarak & Jeffrey Stuker, Christopher Page, Paul Pfeiffer, Adam Putnam, Larissa Sansour & Søren Lind, Paul Sietsema, and Patricia Treib.Opening reception will begin at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 24, following the art lecture.Curated by Lakshmi Luthra, Associate Professor of Art and Film & Media StudiesLearn more about the exhibition*Please note: Weekend hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors.

Join us for an NASC Colloquium on "A Long, Strange Trip to Neuroprotection” presented by Elias Aizenman, a professor from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.Elias Aizenman attended Boston University as an undergraduate, where he received training in neurobiology in the laboratory of Christopher Price, working on the retrograde axonal transport of free glycine in identified neurons of Aplysia. He also performed microbiological field work for Lynn Margulis in Laguna Figueroa, Baja California, Mexico. His graduate work was in toxicology at Johns Hopkins where he studied the mechanism of anticholinesterase-induced generation of antidromic action potentials at the mouse neuromuscular junction with George Bierkamper and Elise Stanley. During his postdoctoral work with Stuart Lipton at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, he discovered the redox modulatory site of the NMDA receptor in collaboration with Ralph Loring. With Paul Rosenberg, he demonstrated the oxidative conversion of L-DOPA to an excitotoxin. In Pittsburgh, together with Ian Reynolds, Elias described the oxidative liberation of intracellular zinc as a critical component of neurotoxic cell signaling pathways. With Ed Levitan, he identified Kv2.1 as the channel responsible for the requisite loss of intracellular potassium during neuronal apoptosis.Research in Elias’s laboratory is directed towards potential common final mediators of neuronal cell death signaling events that can be effectively targeted to treat neural disorders. This work is primarily focused on acute neuronal injury, such as stroke, although the results obtained from these studies have broader applications to more chronic/progressive neurodegenerative conditions. Most recently, Elias has begun an NIH SBIR-funded collaboration with Julie Coleman (Celdara Medical, Lebanon, NH) and Brad Molyneaux (Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA) to move two of his patented, Kv2.1-directed neuroprotective peptides (CM-EA1 and CM-EA2, formerly TAT-C1aB and TAT-DP2) towards clinical use in acute stroke. Finally, in addition to his position at Pitt, Elias also holds an adjunct appointment in the Department of Cell Biology and Physiology at Ben Gurion University. He collaborates there with Michal Hershfinkel and Israel Sekler on all things zinc.Co-sponsored by CORE Scientific Perspectives
